[issue31742] Default to emitting FutureWarning for provisional APIs

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:

I have no bandwidth for this discussion, but so far I am not convinced. What happened to "consenting adults"?

> [...] the entire point of the proposed warning letting people know that they may be using something they are not fully educated or informed about the ramifications of using

That describes most of the Python experience. :-)

I think you all should lighten up. It really sounds like a classic case of someone who was bitten badly by some obscure aspect of an API and then overreacts.

If the warning in the docs does not grab enough attention, change the text or formatting of that warning.
